I neversaw his until lately. But I havecompared the first letter I got fromlilm in March. 1909. with one I gotfrom him recently. There Is a greatimprovement in his writing and Inhis use of language. The act he wasemployed at the prison much of thetime as a sort of secretary indicatesthat he has been well behaved.

The "pork barrer is going to be a small 'affair, with unyielding; stavts and a small bunghole. Thocommittee Is taking a most hardhearted view of the situation, andthere's going to be a great deal of explaining to do when disappointed statesmen return home and attempt to squarethemselves with expectant constituencies. Here Is the plan of the Public Buildings Committee which Is now puttingthe finishing touches of Its bill:The "pork barrcll" will carry onlyabout 135,000,000.No town with postofflce receipts ofless than $10,000 a year need apply fora postofflce.No member need hope for an authorisation of more than one building project In his district. In desperate casesa member may be permitted to draw amodest building and the promise ofa site at some other point.Allowances for postofflce buildingswill be praduated according to the receipts of the office, and there will beno $100,000 structures In "Jerk-water"towns.There are now before that committee a sufficient number of publicbuildings bills to causa an expenditure of more than a hundred milliondollars of Uncle Sam'a money, butthe committee Is going to authorizeonly paltry 126,000,000.NWPORKBARRELS CONG ESS GOSSIPw TEighteen Pagesliiulj iu k unurriu !- ,1Chairman Eustis Rtplits to Prtcidtat-riati'sRequest, and Is Btiievtd to Havt AoiiiWced in the "Royal Commit" to AbtwlwiPlans for AffairWILSON MAY HOLD PUBLIC LEV EEAT WHITE HOUSENot only the plans fora natinnol rACAntinn fn ihmtute for the ball, are likely toThis action probablyaugural committee has,practically deci'ded-ribf to ask forthe free usebf any Government building for inauguralaffairs.If any reception is held, President-elect Wilson wlKconduct it himself at the White House.Efforts' are to be centered on the inaugural parade;which will be on a larger scale than ever, and substitutesfor the balkwill be arrangedhaye as much entertainment, if not more, thtn heretoforerUiHUlU ciictic tUcucW uiy eru BcmisrvT ,-wT..mrs www , . nrsy n. ;aciHie;GwrJitieaTof the bL'the nitare of W-. v . . .ir. i . yr1tA,ifrom an interview this foreseen, wUlt, Mr. BaitisrJt tt'tsjitltteJly eertatethat he promised the governor to defer to "the royal ,The committee plans to. makee "w cuuuwiuuu. iu uivwelcome.
